The scary music never stopped.

It was always there, full volume,

telling me things I didn't want to hear.

At auditions it would play so loud 

I couldn't sing my own song.

I couldn't fall asleep at night 

because the sound was so deafening.

When I met you the scary music didn't stop,

it just added your name to the lyrics of the song

that scared me the most:

"everything you're afraid to lose."

Since the music started I had been looking for headphones,

something that will mute it.

When you put your arms around me,

the scary music stopped.

My thoughts cleared of all things bad,

and all I could think of was you.

When you put your lips on mine there wasn't scary music,

only beautiful choirs singing songs o love.

Scary music still plays in the background throughout my day,

but it's easy to turn down the volume

with the thought of your voice,

your touch, and your presence. 

My Favorite Part About You

Maybe my favorite part about you

is the smile that appears on your face 

when you see me with my hair messy

or maybe it's the way you laugh

when your best friend makes a joke

or maybe it's the face you make

right after you kiss me

or maybe it's the way your voice sounds

when you're really tired but still talking to me

it might be the way that you play with my hair

while we're watching a movie

it could also be how you smile and laugh

whenever I make a joke that isn't funny

but

all in all

I think my favorite part about you

is you.

Cravings

oh how I crave to be in your arms every night

when the late night thoughts come for a visit

I crave to feel the warmth of your body

when the cold of night creeps through the window

I crave to hear the sound of your voice

when I need to hear positivity

I crave to be with you

almost every moment of every day

and oh how I crave

for you to feel the same

Rejection

Be happy for them.

It’s not that easy.

Don’t be upset, there’s next year, too.

But that’s not now, is it?

At least you have the other things you love.

But I love this, more.

You

You

make me happy when no one else can.

You

brighten my day with just your smile.

You

hug me when I'm sad, and kiss me when I'm happy.

You

have made things much easier for me.

Thank you.

Coming Back

You said you were coming back.

I'm waiting.

I said I would come back.

They waited.

Enough

I try so hard

I work so hard

but it's never good enough.

I'm sorry I'm not good enough

to do the thing I love the most.
